The Wedge is a distinctive peak located in Kananaskis Country, Kananaskis
Provincial Park of the southern Canadian Rockies. It is located close to Kananaskis
Highway (40) between the Fisher and Opal mountain ranges. Its official name is
descriptive of the mountain as its summit is shaped like a carpenter’s wedge.
It is a difficult scramble from the summit ridge to the summit, with lots of exposure. You must be comfortable scrambling with exposure for this peak.

Cancellation/Partial Attendance:
Please review our participant responsibility guidelines!
Cancellation Policy
If a participant is unable to attend a paid course or trip, there will be no refund unless the participant finds a suitable replacement that is acceptable to the trip coordinator. Acceptable waiting list candidates will have priority. It will then be the participant's responsibility to recover funds from the replacement. If the coordinator cancels an event, participants get a refund (less any non-recoverable costs). Note that ACC National does not refund hut fees due to weather, delay, closures, or any other reasons. The Calgary Section of the ACC is a not for profit club and we only charge attendees what it costs us to provide courses or trips.
